Brake Pressure.

recently i installed new pads and rotors. after that i suffered from no brake pressure. i bled the brakes to the best of my ability because 3/4 bleeder valves are sciezed. adn i had to do it with the same technique but with the bolt holding the lines to the caliper to get the air out.

my problem is that i cant build up enough pressure to lock the brakes going 15km/h. button do work to a degree but when i pump the brakes while the car is on it almost stalls when it isnt warmed up.

what can cause thease problems? what may be possable solutions?

thanks,
Kyle

Buddy, bleeding using the bolt holding the lines might let air into the caliper itself! Have you considered checking your master cyl.?

yeah theres about a 70% chance that my master cylinder is screwed, but i see no fluid dripping out of it? what other ways could i check?

i didnt really have a choice at the time, my bleeder valves are sciezed as **** and one is broken off, lesson learned on that one, if it dosnt come stop tourqing so hard and try somthing else.
